Getting kicked from CS2, Valorant, or other competitive games with 'Input Automation Detected'? If you have a Razer keyboard (especially Huntsman V3), Snap Tap is likely the cause.
Snap Tap automatically releases the previous directional key when you press the opposite direction (A releases when you press D). Anti-cheat systems detect this as automation because human fingers normally have a brief overlap.
How to fix it:
- Open Razer Synapse > select your keyboard > find 'Snap Tap' or 'SOCD Mode' > disable it
- On some keyboards, Snap Tap is enabled by default — check even if you didn't turn it on
- For non-Razer keyboards with similar features (Wooting, SteelSeries): check your keyboard software for SOCD or rapid input features
- CS2 specifically added detection for Snap Tap — Valve considers it 'Input Automation'
- Valorant has a less strict policy but Vanguard may still flag rapid SOCD patterns
- After disabling, restart the game completely — some anti-cheat caches input behavior
- If you were temporarily banned, the ban usually expires after the match/cool-down period
